Polaris Esports Dominates The Predator League 2022 Philippines Dota 2 Grand Finals
Polaris Esports demolished GrindSky Esports in convincing fashion, winning 2 games straight to take home the Predator League Shield in the Predator League 2022 Philippines Dota 2 Grand Finals in front of a highly charged audience at SM Mall of Asia Central Atrium on September 18.
GrindSky Esports, a relatively new organization in the Philippine gaming community, slightly edged out the veterans from Execration, with a 2-1 scoreline that guaranteed them a slot to the Grand Finals. Flying straight from their boot camp in Cebu, Polaris Esports was matched with the tenacious underdogs of Atomic Esports but the former proved that their pedigree was well-earned, with the Cebuanos sweeping the series 2-0, their second game being finished in a 20-minute victory.
The Grand Finals was a test of whether or not Polaris Esports was the new kings of Philippine Dota, or if GrindSky Esports was more than capable of proving that they were a force to be reckoned with. At the end of the day, Polaris Esports proved that their recent strong performances were no flukes.
Polaris Esports took home the Php200,000 grand cash prize out of the Php1 million pot, the biggest in the league’s history. Meanwhile, GrindSky Esports received Php100,000. Both Polaris Esports and GrindSky Esports will be traveling to Japan for the Asia Pacific Predator League 2022 Grand Finals in November where they will be representing the Philippines. There, they will face off against the champions of the other Predator Leagues in the APAC region as all eyes will be on Japan, from November 11 to 13.
Returning for the second day to host the Predator League 2022 Philippines Dota 2 Grand Finals , Justin “Vill” Villarasen and Allyza “Tayrawr” Taylor were joined by a lineup of talented casters and panelists including Erika Mei “Aki” Ilar, John “Johnxfire” Nathan Fernandez, Aries “Kalbz” Alejandro, Nathaniel “NaTan” Wicks, and Rain “Rain” Zerlyn Manaig.
Fans were once again treated to the presence of some of their favorite Dota personalities. KuyaNic, Kang Dupet, Ashley Gosiengfiao, and even the whole squad of TNC Predator was in Mall of Asia to show their support for the offline tournament. To entertain gaming fans during the break, Mayonnaise also graced the stage.
